WEEKEND: Olympic National Park waives fees this weekend

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Entrance fees into national parks will be waived this weekend in honor of Veterans Day.

Olympic National Park joins other national parks in waiving the fees today through Sunday.

Most park roads and campgrounds remain open, with the exception of the Deer Park and Obstruction Point roads, which are closed for the season, and the Sol Duc and Elwha Whiskey Bend roads, which are closed for repairs.

Hurricane Ridge Road is open as weather conditions permit this weekend.

The fee waiver applies only to entrance fees.

Fees will be charged for camping, reservations, tours and use of concessions.

The usual entrance fee, which is good for up to seven consecutive days at any Olympic National Park entrance, are $15 per vehicle and $5 for individuals on foot, bicycles or motorcycles. Children 15 years and younger are admitted free.

The Olympic National Park Annual Pass, which can be used for one year after purchase, is $30 and is available at entrance stations.
